Oregonian special from Colfax, w. T.,
conveys intelligence of a horrible
double murder near that place. Yes
terday the bodies of Mrs. Peavey and
her eighteen months old child were
found dead at their home with both
throats cut from ear to ear. The hus-
band had been absent from home
some days and the murderers had evil
IDENTIFY taken advantage of that knowl-
edge and the circumstances. From
appearances the fearful deed was COM
mitted nearly week ago. There is
every evidence that a desperate
struggle took place in the house and
that the woman fought hard for her
life and that of her helpless child.
The woman's hands were cut to the
bone in several places in clutching the
knife Of the assassins. Indians are
strongly suspected to have been the
perpetrators Of the foul deed. There
is great excitement over the ghastly

A STIRRING SCENE.
Fire In a Lunatic Asylum-Stx
Inmates SuffOCated.

CLEVELAND, o., October ia fire
broke out this eveningat the Northern
Ohio Insane Asylum during the
weekly dance of the more tractable OF
the patients. While they were enjoy
ing themselves the cry of "fire" was
raised and flames and smoke suddenly
poured into the dancing hall, creating
a fearful panic among the $50 inmates.
As soon as the first excitement abated
the attendants made a courageous
rush and removed the unfortunates
who had been overcome. The bodies,
six women who had suffocated, were
removed and three more were found
in an injured condition.
THE DEATH ROLL.
Two of the dead were unrecognized.
The others were Mrs. Margaret Pitts,
Miss Jennie Hamm, Miss Evelyn
Scribner and Mrs. Charlotte Knowl
ton. One of the injured may die.
But for the heroic conduct of the
and attendants who rushed
into the binding smoke and flames
and dragged the terrer stricken insane
people from the hall, the loss of life
must have been terrible.
HOW IT ORIGINATED.
The fire started in the laundry,
one-story building which adjoins the
wing in which the chapel is located.
A prompt response and active work OF
the firemen prevented disastrous
spread of the flames, and the loss of
the property will fall below $25, 900.
Had the fire occurred any other night
of the week there would have been no
loss of life.
